Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The project focused on the creative exploration of breads as artistic subjects. Using colored paper and minimal props, the endeavor aimed to capture the essence and texture of various types of bread. Soft side lighting was carefully selected to cast gentle shadows and highlights, enhancing the visual appeal and tactile qualities of the materials. Through meticulous attention to detail, the project sought to evoke a sense of texture, warmth, and craftsmanship associated with the art of food photography.
- Inspiration
- The project was inspired by the warmth of bread, the shapes, textures, the smell, and the whole feeling of the subject. I visualized freshly baked bread just out of the oven, and this helped me choose the color palette for the shots.
- Research
- We conducted research on the various types of bread available to determine the most suitable for the specific project. We experimented with different textures for backgrounds, such as wood, marble, and fabric, ultimately settling on a monochromatic environment.
- Challenge
- The difficulty was quite significant, both regarding the subject itself and the baking process, which is quite demanding and requires extensive experience and technical knowledge. Our second major challenge was to successfully combine the warm shapes of the bread with the minimalist curves of the cardboard. The cardboard also had to create harmonious curves that often resulted in "spatial movements."
- Realization and Technology
- studio photo session, with the use of strobes and softbox.
- Project Duration and Location
- The shooting commenced on February 9th, 2024, in Thessaloniki Greece and continued for two consecutive days. The final images were delivered on February 25th, 2024.
